Buckner Brewing and Restaurant

Right on the riverfront in old town Cape. Almost skipped it since is was hard to tell if the place was open. Walking in here the look of the place is decent, lots of exposed wood and some of the tables overlook the Mississippi river which is a few feet away. Staff was distant, so much so i almost had to go back in the kitchen to have someone serve me. After they served me my pale ale and took my order is was back in the kitchen and i was left to myself at the bar as i was the sole patron on a Sunday afternoon. If I was a bastard I could have walked out of there with the register and bottles of booze they would have never known. The beer itself was decent and the fish and chips was also quite good. Good setting and cool looking old building but no real interaction with a customer. I’m sure it its diferent when busy but when you hardly notice you have a customer it loses points big time.

Came across this by accident. Very friendly waitress. The bartender was also very friendly and knowledgeable about beers. Menu with pizzas (homemade crust), burgers, sandwiches, steaks (I had the pizza - very good). Good beers. I’ll definitely be back.
